Yesterday, I took a 400km trip after I was able to get the engine started again.
I experimented while I was driving, to see if the connection was holding, afraid it would overheat and melt the connector even more.
What I found is that the wires are getting heated when I am driving, especially when I use many electronics (max heater, headlights). When I turn off the blower and the lights, the wires seem to not be so warm. Is this just bad design? I would guess that the temperature of the wire came up to 60-70 degrees, hot enough to feel it, but probably not enough to melt any thing. Is it possible that Ford just used a wire too small for its function?
Just wondering if this is a common thing, if any of your have ever felt that these wires are getting hot when driving?
